Isle of Wight distillery Wight Whisky has secured three major honours at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, placing it among the world’s leading whisky producers.

The company’s Signature Malt Blend picked up Gold for Taste, was named Category Winner for Blended Whisky, and took the title of Best English Blended Whisky.

The awards were decided following blind tastings by an international panel of expert judges, who praised the whisky’s balance, character and craftsmanship.

Lucy Gregg, co-founder of Wight Whisky, said the recognition was a major achievement for the team.

She said the awards were a strong endorsement of the distillery’s commitment to quality, adding that being recognised on a global stage was an incredible honour.
